如何自动化本地到Azure SQL数据库数据导出？

Question

I have 5 SQL Servers where there is an average of 200 Databases on each of them, how can I go about exporting all of these databases to azure and create the SQL Databases with the same name in azure as well.

This Can be done using azure automation account feature the DSC Configurations?

Can someone tell me or point me in the right direction for this??

Azure Database Migration Service can really help you in this case. Locate the service on Azure portal and create a "Migration Service" for each database server. It will ask you for subscription, resource group, VNET, location and pricing tier. For the pricing tier choose Basic if you intend to migrate small and medium tier sizes. In your case, use "General Purpose". Take advantage that SKU choices of database migration service are currently in preview.

Once you have created the project you can click on it and the following Migration Wizard will appear. Provide the name of the on-premise database server on step #1. On Step #2 select all 200 databases on the server, On Step #3 select the target. On Step #4 you will have to provide a SMB network share that Migration service will use to take backups of the on-premises database.

Once you finished the wizard you can follow the progress on the migration project as shown below.
